Dude!!! Uh....you need to come back Jim. Folks here are missing you. Akansan is right...people are always misunderstanding each other when communicating via text...can't read intonation. But regardless of the misunderstanding there should be room for forgiveness. I saw 'the mirror' post....I can see why some thought it offensive but in my opinion most humor has the potential to offend someone but jokes shouldn't be taken personally. Hell if I got offended everytime someone told a joke about a drunk Irishman I wouldn't have any friends!!!

Ditto to what takilasunrise wrote. I've gotten to know about other members here, because of the life, universe, everything else forum. For example, I know quite a few people now who have the same warped sense of humor as myself! LOL! I've gotten to know two members here only because they interpreted one of my posts as offensive. Had I left the forum instead of PM'ing them, I would have lost two good friends. Sometimes facing what hurts you can keep you from losing out on something else that's even better. I've made 3 good friends her at RTH because of misunderstood posts. And just like Agatechaser we acted like the "grownups" we are and PM'd each other and talked it out. And it was the best thing we could have done. Friendships were made and no one left. And if Earthdog and Hematite did try to talk it out but couldn't find a common ground to work from, then I'm sorry that it ended that way. But still, is leaving this board the move to make? Too many people here think that's not the right way to go as the posts here show. I hope they do reconsider their actions and come back. But, if they don't I'm sorry to see them go. Their posts helped others learn. And that's more important than having thin skin.

I'm back. Some say I can dish it out, but can't take it. Bring it on, I can take anything you can throw at me. Remember, I am a truck driver. Call me a jerk, a sexist, a pervert, call me a dumb truck driver or a dirtball biker, but be prepared to go toe to toe when someone tries to tell me I meant to offend someone here by a picture I found funny and wanted to share with MY friends here. I deleted myself because if I am so offensive to some, by posting that picture, then I shouldn't be here. It is a funny picture and the majority thought so. Nobody thought the walmart greeter joke was offensive and that was about ugly people. I'm surprized nobody here was offended and think they are ugly. We are all adults here, If you don't like a post, back out and ignore it. I don't retract anything I post. Specially something I did not mean to offend with. I think Herm has some other issues going on in her life, I was just her out this time. I hope she comes back also. Most of you know I say whats on my mind, maybe thats a fault for me. If the majority wants me to stop posting jokes, let me know and I won't post anymore jokes.

Holy %$&? ! I was only gone a few days & looks like all hell broke loose!
Look...I'm still pretty new to this here place & maybe some of ya'll think some of us should maybe not voice our opinions as frequently as we do...but hell with that! Daddy told me the lord hates a coward!
PEOPLE NEED TO LIGHTEN UP & CHILL!
The bar business has taught me many things in the last 15-20 years, the most important thing being to not take things soooo personally. I've been called every filthy thing you could ever want to be called...I've been spit at...threatened & stalked. But one thing no one has ever been able to do is alter the reality of who I really am.
There's been numerous times I've read postings here, and sure, maybe they could be misconstrued by others as not quite cool, but what has really shocked me is the way some of the people react to these postings. I'm sorry, but one thing I've always tried to teach my children is to not jump to conclusions about things. Ask questions, find out why people say or write the things they do. Judge not lest ye be judged! that kinda thing! Life's too short & precious AND DAMN FUNNY if you just listen!
O.K., soapbox done!
E-dog...I'm glad you're still around...you make me laugh!

My vote is for the jokes. I'm a female - short, blonde, and wear glasses. Bring on the jokes!! I have a couple really raunchy ones myself that will probably offend someone somewhere in the world BUT jokes are to make someone smile. Not to hurt and I know NO ONE here wants to hurt anyone. I hope everyone realizes that!! Let's all just agree that the jokes posted are NOT to offend, but to bring on a smile. If your offended and need to say you are offended fine. BUT STAY ON THE BOARD. We are all family, and who better to tell raunchy jokes to??

Ok Edog - You got some catchin' up to do. You left us naked and unprotected (ANYBODY GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?) to a TMorris attack while you were gone.
Please resume all your normal duties, and welcome back.
